“…The papers cover a number of central topics in the foundations of physics, including the role of symmetry principles in classical and quantum physics (papers by Butterfield and by Healey), Einstein's hole argument in general relativity (Korte), quantum mechanics and special relativity (Hemmo and Berkovitz, Brown and Timpson), quantum correlations (Glymour, Redei), quantum logic (Demopoulos, Isham, Stairs), and quantum probability and information (Gudder, P…”

“…An elementary account will be given of the mathematical phenomenon of "global change without local change", i.e. anholonomy, applied tp phases in quantum mechanics and angles in classical mechanics. Phases and angles in photons, electrons, and molecules will be discussed, with a historical emphasis. …”

“…After three decades since the first nearly complete edition of John von Neumann's papers, this book is a valuable selection of those papers and excerpts of his books that are most characteristic of his activity, and reveal that of his continuous influence.The results receiving the 1994 Nobel Prizes in economy deeply rooted in Neumann's game theory are only minor traces of his exceptionally broad spectrum of creativity and stimulation.The book is organized by the specific subjects-quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, operator algebra, hydrodynamics, economics, computers, science and society. …”

“…As pointed out previously, some of the hypotheses used in the standard discussion of the quantum mechanics neutrino oscillations, recently summarised in the paper `Theory of Neutrino Oscillations' by C.Giunti, lack any physical foundation and lead to neglect of both a factor of two correction in the contribution of neutrino propagation to the oscillation phase and an important contribution to the latter from the propagator of the source particle.…”

“…In contast to the switches in conventional computers, which although tiny consist of billions of atoms, quantum computations are carried out by manipulating single atoms. The laws of quantum mechanics which govern these actions in fact mean that multiple computations could be done in parallel, this would drastically cut down the time needed to carry out very complex calculations.…”

“…This paper consists of two (still only vaguely) related parts: in the first, we briefly review work done in the past three years on the ``planar equivalence" between a class of non-supersymmetric theories (including limiting cases of QCD) and their corresponding supersymmetric "parents"; in the second, we present details of a new formulation of planar quantum mechanics and illustrate its effectiveness in an intriguing supersymmetric example.…”
